COLUMBIA - The funeral services of the late Rev. Joseph Wauchope were held at the residence of his son, Dr. G.A. Wauchope on the SC College campus, yesterday afternoon at 4:00. The interment was in Elmwood Cemetery.
Rev. Wauchope was a Virginian and was born at Natural Bridge on December 28, 1926. He was a graduate of Washington and Lee University receiving the degrees of A.B. and A.M. at that institution. Later he attended the University of Virginia and Union Theological Seminary. Until 1890 he was in active ministry in Presbyterian churches in Virginia, in which year he was superannuated on account of failing health. In 1901 he removed with his family to Oklahoma where he had a son engaged in government service.
Last winter he was attacked by rheumatism and getting no relief in Oklahoma, went to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for treatment. Thinking that the mild climate of Columbia might be beneficial, he came here to the home of his eldest son, Dr. G.A. Wauchope of the SC College, to spend the winter. The disease, however, held him too firmly in its grasp and complications setting in, he succumbed.
He leaves his widow and several children, one of whom, Mr. A.D. Wauchope of the Union Theological Seminary of Richmond, Virginia, has been with the wife at the bedside for several weeks.
Note:
Joseph changed the spelling of his last name to "Walkup" and used that for most of his life. His son George changed it back to the original Scottish name.
